‘Image Gallery’ Is Still NOT Working With ‘WordPress’ 6.1 — BUT ‘TILED Gallery’ Does — So, A Workaround.

Click to ENLARGE. Problem with standard (normal) ‘Image Gallery’.

But, TILED GALLERY works.

Click to ENLARGE. Tiled Gallery at bottom, from today.

A few minutes ago I decided to check if ‘WordPress’ has managed to fix the ‘Image Gallery’ problem. They hadn’t.

So, I tried a few other things, e.g., ‘Table’, to see if I could find a workaround.

The 2nd thing I tried was ‘Tiled Gallery’. Much to my amazement it worked! That is great. I can live with that — for now. The one BIG problem for I is that it does NOT support the ‘scroll through images’ feature; i.e., click on one image, it ENLARGES, & then you get the option to scroll through the other images. That is NOT there from what I can see. But, for now, I can live without that.

Glad I found this workaround. Hope this helps.

Latest ‘WordPress’ Version, I.E., 6.1, Breaks ‘Image Galleries’ (Once Again).

This site got automatically upgraded to WordPress Version 6.1 on Tuesday. I permit automatic upgrades Just for my own convenience. Maybe I need to turn that off.

On Tuesday night, i.e., November 1, 2022, I saw to my horror that my Image Galleries, on this Blog, that I use daily with my “Anura’s Picture of the Day + 6 Others” had stopped working.

I immediately suspected the new WordPress BECAUSE this happened with a prior new release too — within the last year. It got fixed a few days later. Yes, it could be due to the cocktail of PlugIns I have — & I do have a few that relate to Galleries because I am a heavy (& basically a daily) user of Galleries.

I real don’t have the time, motivation or energy to chase this.

For NOW I worked out a semi-acceptable work-around. I am using columns, i.e., two columns with an image in each. Not the same as a gallery & it is more work for I. But, that is how the cookie crumbles.

Another busy stretch for I — albeit of my own making. Working on a number of projects, all book related, that have caught my fancy. Well, please wish me luck. I need as much as I can get. Thanks.
